Cop infiltrates school
ASSOCIATED PRESS
EXETER, Calif. — On his second trip through high school, former C-student Alex Salinas got a lot of As.
He was 22, however, and an undercover narcotics officer going by the name Johnny Ramirez. When his first semester progress report showed a 3.25 average, the baby-faced police rookie made a mental note: Stop turning in homework assignments.
Eight months later, the ruse was up, and Exeter, a bucolic citrus-growing community in California's Central Valley, was turned on its ear after a school-day police sweep ended with a dozen Exeter High students in custody on drug charges.
Some people wondered how the deception by Salinas could have gone on for so long in the small town of just 10,000 people. Others lamented that the problems of the big city had come to the quaint community of antique shops and historic murals set amid a stunning backdrop of the snow-capped Sierra Nevada.
"It's amazing we were able to keep a secret in this little town for that long," said Police Chief Cliff Bush, who had been searching for years for just the right officer to pull off the undercover ploy. "People in little towns tend to know everything about everybody."
Leading the campus sweep this month was the tall, lanky Salinas, dressed in the crisp black uniform and combat boots of the Exeter
Still, there was no mistaking the boyish face and the wide smile gleaming with braces.
Police Department instead of the T-shirts and sneakers he had worn as Johnny Ramirez.
"A lot of jaws dropped when they saw me," Salinas said. "They knew me as that kid at school that they hung around with, and then the next thing they're in handcuffs and I'm in a uniform."
POLITICS
The sting got more attention from the media than a drug bust of 12 students normally would because of something the chief now laments: It happened the same week as the debut of the Hollywood comedy "21 Jump Street", which features — you got it — undercover cops fighting crime at a high school.
Representative Bobby Rush makes symbolic statement
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Rep. Bobby Rush donned a hoodie during a speech on the House floor Wednesday deploring the killing of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin, receiving a reprimand for violating rules on wearing hats in the House chamber.
The Illinois Democrat spoke out against racial profiling and, as he removed his suit coat and pulled the hood on the sweatshirt
he was wearing underneath over his head, saying "just because someone wears a hoodie does not make them a hoodlum."
Rush was interrupted by the presiding officer, Mississippi Republican Greg Harper, who reminded him that the wearing of hats was not allowed and "members need to remove their hoods or leave the floor."
On Tuesday Martin's parents spoke on Capitol Hill at a Democratic-sponsored panel on racial profiling.
Johnson said in February that the path is in a student-centric neighborhood and the lights along the path would help students feel safer.
The path was proposed in 2009, and it was funded by KU Student Safety funds and Community Development Block Grand funds from the city. As part of the project, some parts of the sidewalk along 12th Street were repaired and renewed, and new traffic signals were installed at the intersection of 12th and Kentucky Streets and 12th and Tennessee Streets.
The lights are LED motion-activated that are dim until they detect movement.
The naming ceremony will start at the western part of South Park and after that, the group in attendance will walk up 12th Street to Kentucky Street and perform the ribbon cutting ceremony.

The Oread Neighborhood Path was completed in early February, and it runs along 12th Street from South Park to campus.
Student Body President Libby Johnson and Vice Chancellor for Public Affairs Tim Caboni will be in attendance for the ribbon cutting ceremony. Members from Student Senate, the City of Lawrence and the University will be there to give a brief presentation about the recently completed project.
